Friends for a long time, but I think that we should have fucked.
Friends for a long time; maybe you don't want to see the rest of me.
Friends hold a safety, keep a line and never cross that.
Lovers take it further and I don't want to see our trust ever lost.
Some would say this could be a great foundation for something more.
Some would say I'm just afraid to look beyond this door.
But if we stop right now we could go back to what we were before.
I just don't know. I'm just not that sure.
What it all comes down to of course is the question of trust.
Are you really capable of being there when I really must?
What about those days when I just fall apart?
I'm relying on bravado. You know I made it and often.
Some would say this could be a great foundation for something more.
Some would say I'm just afraid to look beyond this door.
But if we stop right now we could go back to what we were before.
I just don't know. I'm just not that sure.
So let me explain. Your childhood seems relatively sane.
It seems to me you got it all from your family.
Do you want to know my history?
Do you want to know my history?
Do you really want to know my history?
And I would say this could be a great foundation for something more.
And I would say I'm just afraid to look beyond this door.
But if we stop right now we could go back to what we were before.
I just don't know. I'm just not that sure.
I am full
I'm choosing to be full
I'm on a boat, I'm in a lake, I'm with the water, I see the trees
I'm with the sun, I see the moon, I touch the sky
And I'm with you, I'm with you
And how long would it take
If we were trapped in an elevator after the earthquake?
Five stories under debris
You and me in the garden indefinitely
After ten hours we're thinking about food
We lost our voices from shouting and screaming
And crying and singing and being really cruel
My tummy rumbles but there's no guitar
So we have sex instead and we go so far
And we do that for days 'til we're knee deep in cum
Dehydrated, exhausted, insane aquarium
But I'm with you, I'm with you
And how long would it take
If we were trapped in an elevator after the earthquake?
Five stories under debris
You and me in the garden indefinitely
And I remember the hunger from the last time
Still here, I remember the hunger
And I remember the hunger from the last time
Still here, I remember the hunger
This could go one of two ways
Hollywood rescue or bodies and bouquets
Found after three months, smiling and bloated
The colors were great and the smells they were quoted
And I'm with you, I am with you, I'm with you
So I am full
I'm choosing to be full
Hannah's friends were watching
When she met him at the end of the bar
Hannah's friends were thinking
That he wouldn't even make it that far
"This is for you" he said
Her gaze unbroken as she licked her spoon
He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out the moon
He gave it to her
Her breathing stumbled and her eyes became wide
And as she swallowed cream
She could already feel him inside
She'd seen similar before
A book, a ring, a key, and more
But never as clever and as clean and as pure
"You're the one
You're the only one I've been waiting for"
So she took his eyes and trusted
And they slipped through the door
Texas girl in New York, don't call her naive
Though she's seen it before, she just risks to believe
She still has the faith in her battered ideals and she
She still holds the courage to scale her fears
Well, spontaneous love has crossed everyone's mind
Most lose hope when that's not what we find
I saw her in the morning and she was crying in the park
She said his girlfriend came home and screamed through the dark
She said that she called her a whore and then she spat in her face
So, Hannah had left in silent disgrace
And then she turned to me, she said, "Now what do I do?"
And I witnessed her shame, how it was mine too
And now she even calls him from Texas, she gets his machine
He made her question herself, her worth, her esteem
So, don't say she's the one and then forget
Don't hand her the moon and then charge interest on debt now
Don't give her your lines 'cause your mask may be flawless
But you're full of shit and your campaign is coreless
And the moon won't do if it's just a snapshot
And hell neither will you if that's all that you got now
Neither will you if that's all that you got now
Neither will you if that's all that you got now
Neither will you if that's all
that you got
Texas girl in New York, don't call her naive
Though she's seen it all before, she just risks to believe
Well, she still has the faith in her battered ideals and she
She still has the courage to scale her fears
Spontaneous love has crossed everyone's mind
Most lose hope when that's not what we find
It's so calm, I am suspicious without a storm
Here on my farm, it is harvest and the sun is warm
And I yearn for upheaval, oscillation of the depths
The water's calling, and there is flood warning in all my steps
And I am leaving light behind to find an equal in my mind
To find an equal in my head
where all the boys contributed more than tangles in my sheets
, breakfast shadows in the streets
To make it safe so I won't drown, one more time in Eiderdown
Tiptoe below where it is dark and the walls are cold
And I see shadow I face my monster while I still feel bold
He beckons closer with no eyes and with no respect
He'd overdose her but he's to scared cause he hates me
The emperor Defiance in my mind sits on his throne
With face to be mine presumes I'll serve him beef and wine
His importance is so divine as I refuse and smile at him
I feed myself and learn to swim
To make it safe so I won't drown one more time in Eiderdown
And as the dust begins to clear
I know it's still taught that you are free
And I will consume this condition until there's no more division
Cause freedom outside of equal conveys
Let the privilege rule and everything else obeys
Cause freedom outside of equal conveys
Let the privilege rule and everything else obeys
And I am leaving light behind to find an equal in my mind
To find the equal in my head
where all the boys contributed more than tangles in my sheets,
breakfast shadows in the streets
To make it safe so I won't drown one more time in Eiderdown
Fallen for you
Did you ever see me
Watching from periphery?
I was playing another game
I hoped you'd catch on all the same
Fallen from view
Did you ever touch me
Floating through your potpourri?
I thought I felt your fingers once
After waiting all these months
But I was wrong, so wrong
That was just another song you wrote, for another girl
And I hoped a day could be
When you'd write a song for me
But it never came
I thank you all the same
But I'll go now, so you won't know how much I've
Fallen for you
Boy who's trying to be a man
Boy who don't know if he can
I thought I knew you well enough
But your walls are still too tough
But I was wrong, so wrong
That was just another song you wrote, for another girl
And I hoped the day could be
When you'd write a song for me
But it never came
I thank you all the same
But I'll go now, so you won't know how much I
Thought about you all the time
Walking round the Guggenheim
Like a rhyme in my mind
There you are in my car
But we don't drive very far
To the beach, out of reach
Next to me
my fantasy
Falling for you
Did you ever see me
Watching from periphery?
I was playing another game
I hoped you'd catch on all the same
we were searching for some kind of love
will this human bowl never be filled
when we're so distracted anyway
talking about eating peanuts for another day
appalled by what i see as nothing less
than manufactured images of my happiness
insults all over work
humanity
and corporations dictate who's a slave
and who is free
well they said desire would design the market
but if you have the money
you can plant desire in people's heads
and make them believe
they need something that they don't
people buy an image before they buy their food
and if we keep selling based on people's insecurities
we'll just make them bigger
and perpetuate mass blindness
they're leaving the movie theatre
he wants a hercules happy meal
he wants a tee-shirt, the sneakers, and the sword
he's only four but he's learned to consume til he's bored
he's only four but he's learned to consume til he's bored
and i amuse myself by thinking bout a day that i might see
where every product that is sold reminded us to be
where the external consumption is merely temporary
and if you want real love,
if you want real love,
consume internally
if you want real love,
consume internally
if you want real love,
consume internally
Don't die on the vine, baby
Though the weather here is fine, maybe
There's a storm rolling over those hills
Don't let it soak you,
Don't let it choke you
Cause you're the only ancient king that I've ever known
And my weekly injection, on your passion throne
And you reveal what's concealed in this smiling town
Re-sensitize me, and you're condemned to be free
And I saw you in the garden
In the middle of the storm
And both are questioning our sanity
Both are pleading to be born
So I asked you for the direction
To the place that's calm and clear
And as I looked at your reflection
I saw my face in the mirror
Don't die on the vine, baby
'Cause your survival is mine, maybe
The wayside's filled with the blind and the numb
You make me see, you make me feel
Inviting hope for a moment that's real
Medusa woke up one day and shaved her head
well maybe now you'll let me a little closer she said
but she just sacrificed her identity instead
be careful how you tread
be careful how you tread
medusa went home again and watched TV
a commercial for deodorant, tampons, so now we won't smell see
said the sister with the plastic smile, excitement, and glee
buy your shame for free
buy your shame for free
and all the smiles that we spill
because it's part of the drill
the shame that we bear
for the floors that aren't there
the unfulfilled will be dismissed
for a savior, a kiss
the memories we repress... when we undress
she went channel surfing
and all that was seen
were decorative women arrive on the screen
conventional images of adolecent male dreams
when men aren't around they fall apart at the seams
passive exposed
peaches and cream
survive like an object to blow off your steam
interchangeable fragments
and outlines and shapes
they say no they mean yes to little girl rapes
and all the smiles that we spill
because it's part of the drill
the shame that we bear
for the floors that aren't there
the unfulfilled will we dismiss
for a savior, a kiss
the memories we repress... when we undress
the rage trapped inside
smothered and dried
the words that we use
that divide and abuse
the war between women keeps the war-mongers grinning
the war between women stops recovery beginning
medusa grew her hair back
around her face
she'd been looking for alignment in the wrong place
so she called up her friends
malcolm x and collie
and they go on a plane
cocked off too ...
falling
Patience
a silent virture
i don't want to hurt you
reflex too old imprinting
your eyes are squinting
and it seems
i'm not what you wanted me to be
now i know i'm not what i said that i was
and i just wanted this to be true
i'm not sure where i went
but you deserve someone more innocent
i searched for reasons to it
four seasons through it
you came quite unexpected
so unprotected
and it seems i'm not what you wanted me to be
now i know i'm not what i said that i was
and i just wanted this to be true
i'm not sure where i went
but you deserve someone more innocent
and i'll just prove to myself
that i cannot be trusted
maybe i'm too much like my father
and if you knew him you would know he's still searching for his mother
and every other but mine
whatever is still searching in him
is still searching in me
cuz i'm still looking for here
living it vicariously
we spoke with such conviction
imprisoned
She looked for perfection in an imperfect world
Cause she needed perfection where his hatred was curled
And she tried to remember how heaven had felt
Cause she knew that she'd been there before these cards were dealt
And he's just a skeleton, with doubt in his eyes
And she is an angel no one denies
So she turned and she left him to turn night into day
But he grabbed hold of anything just to make her stay
She searched for the lesson that would teach her the skills
To fill her hole with herself not valium pills
But it's hard to find sisters not poisoned with doubt
(Yeah) it's hard to find sisters who still know what faith's all about
And he's just a skeleton, with doubt in his eyes
And she is an angel no one denies
So she turned and she left him to turn night into day
But he grabbed hold of anything just to make her stay
just to make her stay
just to make her stay
just to make her stay
just to make her stay
She came to the table to play a new game
Well, she's still holding the same cards, but she won't feel your shame
Cause there's nothing outside her to gain or receive
There's nothing to fuel her along 'til herself she believes
And he,
she
So she had to turn and leave him,
Anything.
The war isn't working
their children go hungry
and ours are born with no souls
and the karma comes back ten-fold.
Old white boys can't see an end,
lose their patience and have to pretend
by drawing on histories that should never have been written.
To kill is neanderthal but ya'll seem smitten, (well..)
War they say will end this bloodshed.
War they say will ease the pain.
Well we'll bring these criminals to justice
while dropping more bombs from planes.
Oh hypocrisy is really boring,
little boys with too big toys.
And viagra can't jump start your brain cells,
Point at your dick, shoot guns, make noise. (and well..)
Well, don't tell me your maps are outdated
did the dog eat your homework too?
And don't deeply regret a thousand dead civilians
just know that your numbness may eat your children and you.
Oh, the war isn't working.
So one day, Satan came through the gates of Heaven
And he said, Look, God, who ya trying to kid?
God is all
there is nothing that is not God.
I am you, there is no distance.
I am you, there is no distance.
Oh, said God, so you finally forgave yourself,
About time, good work, come on in, would you like some tea?
And the people evolved
And all the hatred dissolved
And all the hunger resolved
I am you, there is no distance
I am you, there is no distance
I am you, there is no distance
I am you, there is no distance
I am you, there is no...
I am you, there is no distance
I am you, there is no...
I can see you through the red lights.
Around your window seventeen floors above the world.
I can see you through the raindrops.
Staring at the city from your messy pretty bed.
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair
'cause we need you on the front line down here not up there.
'Cause a woman with your will is still exceedingly rare.
I can hear you humming questions to the Hudson
Shadowy soup just flows away.
Across the rooftops inquiring hunger, age old hunger.
Roots without source lead you astray.
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair
'cause we need you on the front line down here not up there.
'Cause a woman with your will is still exceedingly rare.
The door is right beside you.
And the bleeding key can't hide you and,
and there is none to confide to,
'cept yourself,
'cept yourself,
'cept yourself...
I can see you...
